Freerunner, Jalimo, rxtx, GPS

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Dear list,

I am trying to use librxtx to access the GPS device in my FreeRunner through the /dev/ttySAC1 serial port. I have done this:

opkg install librxtx-java
opkg install librxtx-jni

In the classpath of my little java app I have added RXTXcomm.jar and tried to execute this code without success. No ports are discovered (with the GPS on and off), and if I try to access a port called /dev/ttySAC1, it says it does not exist. What am I doing wrong?

=================================
	  static void listPorts()
	    {
	        java.util.Enumeration portEnum = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
	        while ( portEnum.hasMoreElements() ) 
	        {
	            CommPortIdentifier portIdentifier = (CommPortIdentifier) portEnum.nextElement();
	            System.out.println(portIdentifier.getName()  +  " - " +  getPortTypeName(portIdentifier.getPortType()) );
	        }        
	    }
	    
	    static String getPortTypeName ( int portType )
	    {
	        switch ( portType )
	        {
	            case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_I2C:
	                return "I2C";
	            case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_PARALLEL:
	                return "Parallel";
	            case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_RAW:
	                return "Raw";
	            case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_RS485:
	                return "RS485";
	            case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL:
	                return "Serial";
	            default:
	                return "unknown type";
	        }
	    }
=================================
